Pretty scarf for me!
I have finally got all the Christmas/holiday decorations put away and now have time to spend knitting some projects I came across prior to the holiday season.
I found a lovely scarf pattern on the net that some very kind knitter was giving it out as a Christmas present to any or all who wanted to give it a try. I decided to make mine on my LK 150 (the pattern was done on a bulky) as I like less bulk for my scarves. There is some hand manipulation but I was very surprised as to how quickly this little project worked up. You are only working on 38 stitches
so there are 8 three prong transfers every other row.
What I really like about this little scarf is the fact it comes off the machine without any rolling of the side edges. I would still give it a light steam but other than that it is just fine the way it is.
Also the knit and purl sides are both quite attractive so that is another bonus for this project.

Here is the scarf as it came off the machine
This is a lovely ladies scarf for yourself or as a gift. The beauty of the non rolling edges is the fact there are transfers made creating a hole on the 3rd stitch on each end. Brilliant! I will keep that in mind for future projects like afghans.
Below is the pattern with a breakdown of the transfer row:
Cast on 38 stitches 19 sts left of 0 - 19 sts right of 0
